Walking the halls of his mansion, Adam made his way to his office. When passing the guards, they bowed their heads in respect. He acknowledged them with a nod of his head. Turning the doorknob and pushing in, the door released and he entered his office and walked over to his desk. Looking over the files of the staff and people who are now his pack, he came across a young mans file. His name was Jay. He had no known last name and had been in the pack since he was 17. Adam read on. The boy had grown into the strong young man of the pack, was 22 years old, with blonde hair, light blue eyes, was 5'11" and was well built like a college football player. Jay also passed all tests in paper and other forms with flying colors. He completed his combat and weapons training and was number 1 in his class. He could drive or fly anything from a small plane to a jumbo jet. For the young man to have accomplished these things in a 5-year period was amazing and yet he wa s just another guard. `Well that was going to change' Adam thought. Adam called Ian into his office. As he entered he said, "My Lord was there something you needed?" "Yes, and Ian we're in private so there is no need for formalities." Adam smiled and Ian smiled back with a nod. "I was wondering about this young man. Don't you think he's over qualified to be a guard?" Adam asked. Ian took the file and looked it over. "I do believe you're right. Do you want me to correct this error?" Ian asked. Adam shook his head and said, "Could you bring him in? I would like to talk to him in person." Ian nodded and left to bring the young man Adam found so interesting to his office. While waiting he looked out the window to the first quarter moon hanging overhead. A few minutes after Ian left to bring the young man in, he returned with him. Not making eye contact with the alpha Jay said with his eyes downcast, "How may I serve you my Lord?" "You may meet my gaze." Adam said to the young man. Jay looked up at the alpha for the first time. The man was ruggedly handsome and strong in physical form but Jay could sense the power flowing out of the strong alpha. "I have looked over your file and found something very interesting in it. You are by far the best at almost anything here and yet you're a guard. Wh y is that?" Adam asked the young wolf. "I am not a pure wolf, I'm only half. The rest of your staff are all full werewolves. It is not my place to be above those who deserve it more then I do." the young man answered. "I see that you are a humble and honorable person." Adam said. "I am assigning you as my personal assistant. You will also be my personal guard. Your job will be to do anything I ask without question or regret. You will also see to my personal needs, whatever they may be." Adam said to Jay. "You will be my personal driver and pilot. You will have access to my estate and my money. Can you do this? Can I trust you with my life?" Adam said to him. Jay dropped to his knees and bowed. "My lord, I beg you, please find someone more fitting for what you offer." Adam smiled and said, "I have found the one who is honorable and trustworthy, besides Ian. Can you do this for me Jay?" "Yes my lord, I will serve you faithfully and with my life and honor." Jay said to Adam. Adam smiled and nodded his head, "Good, we will be leaving soon, for the clans are meeting tonight to announce my arrival. Get the car ready and Ian will fill you in on everything you need to know." Both his new assistant and his old friend left the room. Adam walked back to his desk and saw the photo of Jamie on the floor whe re it had fallen earlier that day. Picking up the photo, Adam looked at his future mate. There was no mistaking that Jamie was beautiful and the boy had power. Adam looked at the photo for a few more minutes then slipped it into his jacket pocket and made his was to his bedroom to get ready to meet the clans. *** Walking into the house Jamie was all nerves and scared. What would his family think of him now. Would they accept him or would they throw him out. His brother thought it was the coolest thing he had ever seen and even his sister was glad he had his powers. However, with his parents, that may be something else. Both his mother and father had not said one thing to him the whole drive home and it made Jamie feel uneasy. As they all came into the living room of their two-story Victorian home, everyone took a seat. Nothing was said for a few minutes until Jamie's father said "Alright Jamie, do you have something you want to tell us?" "Dad, before I do, could I please call Koda and Kenai in here?" Jamie's father nodded his head and Jamie grabbed the phone and called them. A few minutes after hanging up, the door bust open and Koda came running into the room. Seeing Jamie sitting on the love seat, Koda walked to him and picked him up. Turing him left then right, he checked him over to make sure he was okay. Koda then gabbed him and pulled him into his tall, strong body hugging him for all he=2 0was worth. Koda held Jamie like he didn't want to let him go or have him out of his sight for a second. "You're okay, right? They didn't hurt you did they? I'll kill them if they did." Koda said aggressively. "I'm fine, but I could use a little air right now." Jamie said to the young man. Letting Jamie go and seeing him breath a little easier, Koda blushed a little and said "Sorry, I was worried you were hurt." He said scratching the back of his head. "Let me look at you Jamie" Kenai said to the young man. Jamie slowly turned around to show the old Indian that he was all right. Giving him a nod, Kenai then greeted Jamie's parents. "Alright Jamie, they're here. You want to tell us what happened tonight?" Jamie's mother asked calmly. "Well you see...Ummm, Koda, Kenai I'm going to tell them about my powers. If that's alright with you." Jamie said to his two friends. "The decision is up to you Jamie, not I or my grandson. Speak what's in your heart, for that is the only truth." Kenai said to the boy. Jamie nodded his head and began to tell his family about his powers, After the whole story was said, including the attack at the mall, his brother wanted a demonstration of each of his powers. "Alright, throw that baseball in the air." Jamie said to his brot her. When he did, Jamie flicked his hands blew the ball to nothing but small fibers. Jamie then began using his power over water to form a ball in his hand. He then froze the water leaving an ice ball. Lifting his hand up, the wind in the room began to pick up and swirl around them. Bringing his hand down, the wind died down. "Ella throw one of you knives at me." He said to his older sister. Her eyes grew wide and she shook her head from side to side. "Don't worry, you won't hurt me, I promise. Just do it ok?" Jamie said to her. Slowly and reluctantly she threw one of her blades at her brother. Jamie raised his hand and a force field formed around him causing the knife to fall to the floor harmlessly. Ella sighed in relief. His mother and father looked at each other then back at their youngest. "Alright Jamie, You've told us your secret, now we'll tell you ours." His father began to tell Jamie the family heritage and what he and some of the families in this town did. Jamie saw his family in a new light. He would never have guessed what they were doing in the still of the night. "So that's what we do Jamie. We hunt and kill Werewolves, Vampires, Demons and anything else that threatens human life." His father finished. "So you're not just an ordinary family." Koda said to the people he has known for the past few years. "No, we 're not Koda, but neither was your mother and father" Jamie's mother said to the young Indian. "Kenai, it's time he learned the truth. His parents wanted that for him so I think its best if he and Jamie knew the truth." She went on. Kenai nodded his head and turned to his grandson. "Koda, your mother and father were in the Order. They laid their lives down protecting people from those monsters." "Grandfather, why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Koda asked. "You were still to young and untrained. I needed to be sure that you could handle this. That you were strong enough." the old man said. After that there was a silent pause in the whole room. No one said anything. "So what now? What are we going to do?" Jamie asked. "We bring you both into the Order and teach you all there is to know about the things we kill." Jamie's father said to the two young men. "I will call the members of the Order together to meet us at headquarters, and then we will make our decision." Jamie's father said to both his son and Koda. The two nodded and Jamie went upstairs with Koda not far behind. Making it to his room, Jamie disrobed and took a shower then changed into a black tight top and a pair of black jeans, then slipped on a pair of back combat boots. Pulling his hair back and tying it into a ponytail he looked at himself=2 0in the full-length mirror. "Alright, are you ready for this?" Jamie asked his friend. Koda looked up and brushed his hand lightly against Jamie's cheek. "If you're with me, yes I am." Jamie smiled then both of them went down stairs to meet their family members. *** A black SUV pulled up in front of a large mansion 30 miles from any town or city. In this lush forest, the mansion was the only sign of life for miles. The car came to a stop and Jay jumped out and opened his masters door. Adam stepped out wearing a black Armani suit. Looking around, he made his way inside. The two guards in front bowed their heads as the alpha passed them. He walked through the halls to the very end where the doors opened leading to the backyard. A large number of Werewolves were gathered here to welcome back their strongest alpha. As Adam made his way through the crowd, he noticed a number of his old friends were there to greet him. He acknowledged them with a smile and a nod. All bowed and showed respect for the alpha, but some of the younger alpha's who were starting their own little packs didn't see what the big deal was. One even dared to look Adam in the eyes but that didn't last long. Adam walked over to the young alpha and smiled. With a quick smack he send the young alpha flying through the nearby window. His pack of 6 males were ready to strike back when Adam turned to l ook at them. His green eye's glowed and all took a step back. One of his old friends by the name of Marcus, came in front of the young pack and growled. "Show some respect you bastards!" He yelled. The young alpha who had been sent through the window came back in ready to fight Adam. Marcus came over and slapped the young man in the face. "You fool, how dare you disrespect Lord Adam. Beg his forgiveness...NOW!" The young alpha was stunned. "Forgive me my Lord, I did not mean any disrespect towards you." The young alpha bowed down. "Next time, don't be so foolish as to try to challenge me." Adam said. Marcus walked to Adam and bowed "Forgive him my lord, He is my son and I will be sure to punish him later for this transgression." "No harm done my friend. Its good to see you again." Adam said hugging Marcus. "It's good to see you again my Lord." Walking with their arms around each others shoulders, they went to mingle with the rest of the pack. Soon dinner was soon served and everyone went to eat. Marcus raised his glass in a toast and said "We here are pack, members by blood and by oath. We welcome back the most powerful alpha to walk the world, Lord Adam Blackheart." Everyone raised their glasses and cheered. Soon after dinner was done everyone talked and danced. "Jay would you please bring the car around. I think its time we went home." Adam said. Nodding, the young man went to get the car. "You're leaving so soon my friend?" Marcus asked. "Yes, I think it is time I head home. I still have to run around the area near my home and get a sense of where my territory ends." Adam said to him. The man nodded and they gave each other a hug before Adam left for home. During the drive Adam took the photo of Jamie out and looked at it again. Yes he should go into town and see his soon to be mate. Arriving a few hours later at his home, Adam walked into his bedroom. He then took a quick shower and went to bed. He tossed and turned and not seeming to find a comfortable position, he got up and put on a pair of sweat pants and walked out into the night. Walking to the edge of the stone path Adam shifted into his wolf form. A giant black-furred wolf with green eyes stood on all fours and lifted his nose into the air. Sniffing he found the direction he wanted to go and with a kick of his back legs, the wolf headed for the tree line and into the forest. *** Arriving at the home of John Goodwin, the Lockhart family, along with two members of the Rainhart family made their way into the large estate. John Goodwin was the richest man in town, but he was also Scott's father. Scott and Jamie had known each other since they were toddlers. When their mothers would meet at the=2 0park, both would play around in the sandbox. Opening the front wooden doors of the large house they all entered. "Good evening everyone and welcome." John Goodwin greeted the group. Beside him was his son Scott. Scott stood 6'2", was 159 lbs of well built muscle and he had brown hair and brown eyes. "Everything is ready, please come on in and we'll get started." John led the group down to the basement and into the wine seller. Walking to the end of one of the rows of wine, he removed one of the bottles that revealed an opening in the wall. The room was white and filled with all sorts of monitors and consoles. In the center wall of the room was something that looked like a large mirror surrounded by crystals. "Welcome to our headquarters Jamie and Koda. Your Father called to inform us that both of you were coming to join us." John said to the both of them. "Umm, Yes we are. If that's okay with you Mr. Goodwin." Jamie said. The large man laughed and said "My boy, you know me well enough to call me John and I have been waiting for this moment for a long time." "You two will make fine additions to the Order." John finished. Scott came up to the both of them and gave each one a huge hug along with a pat on the back. "Finally! Damn this is great moment. We get to kick some ass together." Scott said. 9 CAlright, you both must pass the test first." John said to the two. "What kind of test? I hope it's not a math test. I really didn't do too well in math." Jamie said to him. Everyone started to laugh and John said "No Jamie, it's not that kind of test. It is more like a survival test." "Before you Grandfather came into the Order, we had two members who were out hunting real werewolves Koda. When they came in they were able to form werewolves out of the earth and we've been doing that since your older brother came to us Jamie." John said. "Don't worry, you'll both do just fine. Here are the keys to the Jeep. It has a GPS navigation system in it. The site were you'll be tested at has already been programmed in to it. Good luck to the both of you and please be safe." Jamie's mother said to the two boys. They both hugged her and the rest of the family before leaving the estate to go into the woods a few miles away. When they arrived they slowly got out of the jeep and made their way into a clearing. The first quarter Moon hung above them giving some light. " So what do we do now" Jamie asked. Koda looked around and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess we wait and see what happens but don't let your guard down." Both looked around and took up a fighting stance. Slowly in front of them Koda's grandfather appeared and said, "The test will now begin." He faded away and the ground came up and formed 6 large werewolves. Their claws and fangs were sharper than any blade and their eye's glowed. With a growl they began to attack. Three of the beasts went for Jamie and the other three for Koda. One jumped up and was about to pounce on Jamie but he formed his shield. The beast hit the shield hard and began to claw at it. "Back off Fido." Jamie jumped and did a spin kick sending a pressure wind that sent the wolf flying. The others came at him fast. Using his wind power he was able to move just as fast. Koda looked at his three targets and tightened his fist, when one of the wolves came at him both his hands grabbed the creatures wrists. He threw the beast down and with his foot on the back of the beast dislocated both the monsters arms. A loud yelp filled the night air as Koda came down on the wolf and snapped the creatures neck, immediately silencing it. The body soon turned to nothing but rubble. As he was turning around he was struck hard and sent flying to the ground by another attacker. Jamie was busy holding off the other two wolves trying to break through his shield. Leaving one arm raised to hold his shield he flicked his other hand and blew up one of the wolves. He formed another bubble around the other and lifted him up. Closing his fist, he tightened the bubble and made it smaller and smaller until it was the size of a marble. Releasing his hold on the bubble, nothing but dust was left which blew away with breeze. Turning around he wasn't ready when the third Werewolf grabbed him by his throat and lifted him off of his feet. Koda got up and when one of the wolves came at him, he drew all his strength into one strong punch, hitting it and shattering it into pieces. The last wolf came at him and pinned him down trying to sink its teeth into his neck. Pulling his strength together he pushed the wolf back onto its back and straddled its chest. He grabbed the creature by the muzzle and split it open. The monster soon turned to rocks. Looking over he saw Jamie being held up in the air with the wolf holding his throat. Rage built up in Koda and he moved faster than the wind. Grabbing the beast, he sent it flying a few feet away. Falling to the ground Jamie was breathing heavily. He looked up and saw the wolf coming at both of them. His hands glowed and formed two Sai daggers. Jumping up he stabbed the monster in the chest and back. Bringing the weapons to the monsters neck, he slit the beast's throat, which caused it to turn back onto dirt. "You okay?" Koda asked. "Yeah, fine. Just give me a sec to catch my breath." Jamie said back. "Well done! You both have done well. Please return to the house." Koda's grandfather said to them. Walking to the car Jamie stopped mid-step and gasped. He was having another vision. `He and Koda were back at the car when three small balls of light hit Koda, one in the chest, the stomach and the head. Koda fell to the ground dead'. Meanwhile... Back in the Orders headquarters all three families watched as Jamie and Koda fought the wolves. They beat them and were heading for the car. "Looks like we've got two very strong members on our hands." John said with a smile. By now all the members of the Order had arrived and were looking at the fight. Paul and Rachel Lockhart, along with their two older children smiled with pride knowing their youngest has done so well. Kenai smiled as well knowing his daughter and son-in-law would be proud of their boy. "Well we had better get things ready for their arrival." John said. Just as he began to turn, the Mirror they were looking through started glowing red and suddenly a wolf shaped face jumped out sending everyone falling back. The Mirror continued to glow red showing them nothing. "Kenai, what happened? Why can't we see them?" Rachel asked worriedly. She wasn't the only one who was worried. Nothing like this had ever happened before. "I don't know. I have never seen the viewing mirror do this before." The old Indian started to chant and soon they were able to see both boys by the car. They notice d that something appeared to be wrong with Jamie. The boy just stood still looking out into space. Back at the training grounds... As Koda got near the car the three balls Jamie saw in his vision came flying out of the woods. Moving quickly, Jamie formed body shaped shields on both arms and legs. Swinging he hit the two balls aimed at Koda's chest and head then kicked the last with his right leg. The balls were sent to each side of the open field blowing up chunks of earth and soil. "Koda get in the car NOW!" Jamie shouted. Another ball came at them. It was the size of a basketball. Jamie raised his shield and blocked the attack. The ball pushed at his shield pushing him back. Jamie pushed back with all his strength sending the ball of energy back, hitting a large tree and blowing up its trunk. Another came at them from his right and Jamie blocked that too. Then another from their left, then one more from in front of them. They were both pinned down and Jamie was growing weak from the endless assault. Jamie's eyes began to glow blue. The winds started to pick up and formed a cyclone around both him and Koda, lifting them up. Jamie closed his eyes as the winds increased in speed and strength. The cyclone formed a protective shield that blocked three more basketball sized energy balls. "Jamie! What are you doing?!!" Koda yelled trying to reach his friend but was held back by the strong winds. Whe n Jamie opened his eyes the cyclone hit the ground sending a pressure wave of strong winds in all direction. The wave leveled everything for two miles. The trees were all uprooted and anything that lived above ground in the woods may have been killed when it passed by. A few minutes later with no other attacks, Jamie slowly began to descend. Koda caught his friend in his strong arms and said "Jamie, come on baby, don't do this to me. You can't leave me. Please Jamie, open your eyes. Koda was sobbing by now. When Jamie drew a strong breath in and moaned, Koda smiled. "Hang on baby, you're going to be okay." He lifted Jamie and sat him in the passenger seat, making sure he had his seatbelt on as he ran to the driver side and drove away from the training grounds. Meanwhile... Back at the Orders headquarters everyone witnessed what had happened. Rachel was holding on to her husband and Jamie's Sister Ella, was being held by his brother. No one knew exactly what had happened but one thing was for sure. Jamie was more powerful then anyone they had ever seen or met. "Get sickbay ready...NOW!" John ordered. Everyone was scrambling to make everything ready for the two as they arrived. "He's going to be fine Rachel and Paul, that boy of yours is strong willed and a fighter." John said to his two close friends. Back on the training grounds... A figure stepp ed out of the trees and made his way to the center of the field. Looking around, he was amazed at the boy's strength. "So strong for someone so young." Adam said to himself as he looked around and smiled. "Yes, you are strong Jamie, but as for being my Mate, I'll just have to see about that tomorrow." Adam smiled and shifted back into his wolf shape. He took one more look around and ran back into the night. To Be Continued... Walking the halls of his mansion, Adam made his way to his office. When passing the guards, they bowed their heads in respect. He acknowledged them with a nod of his head. Turning the doorknob and pushing in, the door released and he entered his office and walked over to his desk.

He could drive or fly anything from a small plane to a jumbo jet.

What are we going to do?" Jamie asked. "We bring you both into the Order and teach you all there is to know about the things we kill." Jamie's father said to the two young men. "I will call the members of the Order together to meet us at headquarters, and then we will make our decision." Jamie's father said to both his son and Koda. The two nodded and Jamie went upstairs with Koda not far behind. Making it to his room, Jamie disrobed and took a shower then changed into a black tight top and a pair of black jeans, then slipped on a pair of back combat boots.

Koda looked up and brushed his hand lightly against Jamie's cheek. "If you're with me, yes I am."

One of his old friends by the name of Marcus, came in front of the young pack and growled. "Show some respect you bastards!" He yelled. The young alpha who had been sent through the window came back in ready to fight Adam. Marcus came over and slapped the young man in the face. "You fool, how dare you disrespect Lord Adam. Beg his forgiveness...NOW!" The young alpha was stunned. "Forgive me my Lord, I did not mean any disrespect towards you." The young alpha bowed down. "Next time, don't be so foolish as to try to challenge me." Adam said. Marcus walked to Adam and bowed "Forgive him my lord, He is my son and I will be sure to punish him later for this transgression." "No harm done my friend. Its good to see you again." Adam said hugging Marcus. "It's good to see you again my Lord." Walking with their arms around each others shoulders, they went to mingle with the rest of the pack. Soon dinner was soon served and everyone went to eat. Marcus raised his glass in a toast and said "We here are pack, members by blood and by oath. We welcome back the most powerful alpha to walk the world, Lord Adam Blackheart." Everyone raised their glasses and cheered. Soon after dinner was done everyone talked and danced. "Jay would you please bring the car around. I think its time we went home." Adam said. Nodding, the young man went to get the car. "You're leaving so soon my friend?" Marcus asked. "Yes, I think it is time I head home. I still have to run around the area near my home and get a sense of where my territory ends." Adam said to him. The man nodded and they gave each other a hug before Adam left for home. During the drive Adam took the photo of Jamie out and looked at it again. Yes he should go into town and see his soon to be mate. Arriving a few hours later at his home, Adam walked into his bedroom. He then took a quick shower and went to bed. He tossed and turned and not seeming to find a comfortable position, he got up and put on a pair of sweat pants and walked out into the night. Walking to the edge of the stone path Adam shifted into his wolf form. A giant black-furred wolf with green eyes stood on all fours and lifted his nose into the air. Sniffing he found the direction he wanted to go and with a kick of his back legs, the wolf headed for the tree line and into the forest. *** Arriving at the home of John Goodwin, the Lockhart family, along with two members of the Rainhart family made their way into the large estate. John Goodwin was the richest man in town, but he was also Scott's father. Scott and Jamie had known each other since they were toddlers. When their mothers=2 0would meet at the park, both would play around in the sandbox. Opening the front wooden doors of the large house they all entered. "Good evening everyone and welcome." John Goodwin greeted the group. Beside him was his son Scott. Scott stood 6'2", was 159 lbs of well built muscle and he had brown hair and brown eyes. "Everything is ready, please come on in and we'll get started." John led the group down to the basement and into the wine seller. Walking to the end of one of the rows of wine, he removed one of the bottles that revealed an opening in the wall. The room was white and filled with all sorts of monitors and consoles. In the center wall of the room was something that looked like a large mirror surrounded by crystals. "Welcome to our headquarters Jamie and Koda. Your Father called to inform us that both of you were coming to join us." John said to the both of them. "Umm, Yes we are. If that's okay with you Mr. Goodwin." Jamie said. The large man laughed and said "My boy, you know me well enough to call me John and I have been waiting for this moment for a long time." "You two will make fine additions to the Order." John finished. Scott came up to the both of them and gave each one a huge hug along with a pat on the back. "Finally! Damn this is great moment. We get to kick some ass together." S cott said. "Alright, you both must pass the test first." John said to the two. "What kind of test? I hope it's not a math test. I really didn't do too well in math." Jamie said to him. Everyone started to laugh and John said "No Jamie, it's not that kind of test. It is more like a survival test." "Before you Grandfather came into the Order, we had two members who were out hunting real werewolves Koda. When they came in they were able to form werewolves out of the earth and we've been doing that since your older brother came to us Jamie." John said. "Don't worry, you'll both do just fine. Here are the keys to the Jeep. It has a GPS navigation system in it. The site were you'll be tested at has already been programmed in to it. Good luck to the both of you and please be safe." Jamie's mother said to the two boys. They both hugged her and the rest of the family before leaving the estate to go into the woods a few miles away. When they arrived they slowly got out of the jeep and made their way into a clearing. The first quarter Moon hung above them giving some light. " So what do we do now" Jamie asked. Koda looked around and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess we wait and see what happens but don't let your guard down." Both looked around and took up a fighting s tance. Slowly in front of them Koda's grandfather appeared and said, "The test will now begin." He faded away and the ground came up and formed 6 large werewolves. Their claws and fangs were sharper than any blade and their eye's glowed. With a growl they began to attack. Three of the beasts went for Jamie and the other three for Koda. One jumped up and was about to pounce on Jamie but he formed his shield. The beast hit the shield hard and began to claw at it. "Back off Fido." Jamie jumped and did a spin kick sending a pressure wind that sent the wolf flying. The others came at him fast. Using his wind power he was able to move just as fast. Koda looked at his three targets and tightened his fist, when one of the wolves came at him both his hands grabbed the creatures wrists. He threw the beast down and with his foot on the back of the beast dislocated both the monsters arms. A loud yelp filled the night air as Koda came down on the wolf and snapped the creatures neck, immediately silencing it. The body soon turned to nothing but rubble. As he was turning around he was struck hard and sent flying to the ground by another attacker. Jamie was busy holding off the other two wolves trying to break through his shield. Leaving one arm raised to hold his shield he flicked his other hand and blew up one of the wolves. He formed another bubble around the other and lifted him up. Closing his fist, he tigh tened the bubble and made it smaller and smaller until it was the size of a marble. Releasing his hold on the bubble, nothing but dust was left which blew away with breeze. Turning around he wasn't ready when the third Werewolf grabbed him by his throat and lifted him off of his feet. Koda got up and when one of the wolves came at him, he drew all his strength into one strong punch, hitting it and shattering it into pieces. The last wolf came at him and pinned him down trying to sink its teeth into his neck. Pulling his strength together he pushed the wolf back onto its back and straddled its chest. He grabbed the creature by the muzzle and split it open. The monster soon turned to rocks. Looking over he saw Jamie being held up in the air with the wolf holding his throat. Rage built up in Koda and he moved faster than the wind. Grabbing the beast, he sent it flying a few feet away. Falling to the ground Jamie was breathing heavily. He looked up and saw the wolf coming at both of them. His hands glowed and formed two Sai daggers. Jumping up he stabbed the monster in the chest and back. Bringing the weapons to the monsters neck, he slit the beast's throat, which caused it to turn back onto dirt. "You okay?" Koda asked. "Yeah, fine. Just give me a sec to catch my breath." Jamie said back. "Well done! You both have done well. Please return to the house." KodaE2s grandfather said to them. Walking to the car Jamie stopped mid-step and gasped. He was having another vision. `He and Koda were back at the car when three small balls of light hit Koda, one in the chest, the stomach and the head. Koda fell to the ground dead'. Meanwhile... Back in the Orders headquarters all three families watched as Jamie and Koda fought the wolves. They beat them and were heading for the car. "Looks like we've got two very strong members on our hands." John said with a smile. By now all the members of the Order had arrived and were looking at the fight. Paul and Rachel Lockhart, along with their two older children smiled with pride knowing their youngest has done so well. Kenai smiled as well knowing his daughter and son-in-law would be proud of their boy. "Well we had better get things ready for their arrival." John said. Just as he began to turn, the Mirror they were looking through started glowing red and suddenly a wolf shaped face jumped out sending everyone falling back. The Mirror continued to glow red showing them nothing. "Kenai, what happened? Why can't we see them?" Rachel asked worriedly. She wasn't the only one who was worried. Nothing like this had ever happened before. "I don't know. I have never seen the viewing mirror do this before." The old Indian started to chant and soon they were able to see both boys by the car. They noticed that something appeared to be wrong with Jamie. The boy just stood still looking out into space. Back at the training grounds... As Koda got near the car the three balls Jamie saw in his vision came flying out of the woods. Moving quickly, Jamie formed body shaped shields on both arms and legs. Swinging he hit the two balls aimed at Koda's chest and head then kicked the last with his right leg. The balls were sent to each side of the open field blowing up chunks of earth and soil. "Koda get in the car NOW!" Jamie shouted. Another ball came at them. It was the size of a basketball. Jamie raised his shield and blocked the attack. The ball pushed at his shield pushing him back. Jamie pushed back with all his strength sending the ball of energy back, hitting a large tree and blowing up its trunk. Another came at them from his right and Jamie blocked that too. Then another from their left, then one more from in front of them. They were both pinned down and Jamie was growing weak from the endless assault. Jamie's eyes began to glow blue. The winds started to pick up and formed a cyclone around both him and Koda, lifting them up. Jamie closed his eyes as the winds increased in speed and strength. The cyclone formed a protective shield that blocked three more basketball sized energy balls. "Jamie! What are you doing?!!" Koda yelled trying to reach his friend but was held back by t he strong winds. When Jamie opened his eyes the cyclone hit the ground sending a pressure wave of strong winds in all direction. The wave leveled everything for two miles. The trees were all uprooted and anything that lived above ground in the woods may have been killed when it passed by. A few minutes later with no other attacks, Jamie slowly began to descend. Koda caught his friend in his strong arms and said "Jamie, come on baby, don't do this to me. You can't leave me. Please Jamie, open your eyes. Koda was sobbing by now. When Jamie drew a strong breath in and moaned, Koda smiled. "Hang on baby, you're going to be okay." He lifted Jamie and sat him in the passenger seat, making sure he had his seatbelt on as he ran to the driver side and drove away from the training grounds. Meanwhile... Back at the Orders headquarters everyone witnessed what had happened. Rachel was holding on to her husband and Jamie's Sister Ella, was being held by his brother. No one knew exactly what had happened but one thing was for sure. Jamie was more powerful then anyone they had ever seen or met. "Get sickbay ready...NOW!" John ordered. Everyone was scrambling to make everything ready for the two as they arrived. "He's going to be fine Rachel and Paul, that boy of yours is strong willed and a fighter." John said to his two close friends. Back on the training grounds. .. A figure stepped out of the trees and made his way to the center of the field. Looking around, he was amazed at the boy's strength. "So strong for someone so young." Adam said to himself as he looked around and smiled. "Yes, you are strong Jamie, but as for being my Mate, I'll just have to see about that tomorrow." Adam smiled and shifted back into his wolf shape. He took one more look around and ran back into the night. To Be Continued... Hello again.
